Maximum speed with full confidence
With this bike, you can let it run downhill. The ultra-flat steering angle of 67° scores with a lot of stability and control, allowing you to really go for it in the downhill. Brake later, take harder turns and attack on the descents.

Central seating position
The size-specific Proportional Response Design of the chainstays and the steep seat angle of the Scalpel HT put the rider in a central position on the bike - for better traction and maximum control on the descents.

More flex for more comfort.
The chainstays are designed to absorb and filter out the smallest bumps in combination with the low-positioned seat stays. This prevents early rider fatigue and saves energy. A decisive advantage.
